Who would have thought that something that is used to clean the grimiest areas of your kitchen could become this beautiful chandelier? We stumbled upon Daisuke Hiraiwa’s booth last weekend at ICFF 2010 and were completely mesmerized by the fluffy, metallic cloud lamp hovering over the space. Once we got a closer look, we saw that the entire suspended fixture was actually made out of stainless-steel scrubbing sponges!

We “ooed” and “ahhed” over the magnificence of the piece and its reflective qualities that create a brilliant sparkle and enhance the glow coming from inside the fixture. One would never guess that a chandelier this brilliant could be constructed purely from items that are readily available in any run of the mill kitchen.
